My Life's Notes

My recent choice of morning wardrobe. My sister informed me a picture was necessary.
Sisters a few years ago in Hawaii

Dear Captain America,
You are by far my favorite super hero. I know you don't have the coolest powers, but you have the nicest body and you definitely use your powers to defeat the evil sources(does that even make sense??)

Dear Ma(trek mom that is),
Thanks for the workout today! Considering the fact I haven't worked out that hard since November, I know I will be sore tomorrow.

Dear Mothers who I worked out with today,
You are all definitely a lot more in shape than us 3 teenagers who were dying the whole time.

Dear Kiddos who I see every Monday and Wednesday,
I love you. And I love when you get into messes because it makes my job more fun. Especially when you love bouncy balls at each others heads, I seriously love it and will miss it when I go back to school.

Dear Businesses,
Sorry, but I am sticking to babysitting for a few more years for money. It's way too fun!

Dear Lauren,
Don't leave me again. You just came back after 3 weeks, and now you are going to HAWAII! No fair... I want to go too

Dear US Open,
I might have considered attending if I wasn't so dang white! But I guess that isn't your fault I can't tan..

Love,
Kenz

Do you hear the voice?

We hear the voice!
 EFY this year was absolutely amazing. I went to Santa Barbara with my sister and her friends, but I roomed alone in order to meet new people. We rode the train to Santa Barbara and back after the week was over, and I think the train made it so much more fun.
 My roommate's name was Margaret and she was pretty cool. She was training to hike the grand canyon rim to rim, and she completed it on Wednesday of this week. 
All of the girls in my company(which usually consists of 13 girls age 16-18. There are a lot of companies to make up one group)had come alone which made it easier to make new friends and not be cliquey. It ended up being super fun! One of the girls in our company pretended she was Russian the first day and I totally believed her the whole time until they made her tell the truth.
It ended up being a fantastic week filled with lots of fun/random events!
Escorting is a big deal for EFY... Everywhere you go you basically have to be
escorted by someone of the opposite gender haha

It was my counselor Greg's birthday the week before on the 4th but we celebrated it again
Funny story about my guy counselor: The first day we had our "welcoming" meeting where all of the counselors dance and sing, and basically make it seem like they are really cool(even if they aren't, but they usually are). He was sitting next to me during one of the videos and there was a beat playing in the background so he started free styling and coming up with his own words making sure that only I could hear. From that point on, I knew he was going to be the best.

The food was delicious...
This is my friend Max, he and I matched almost everyday but it wasn't on purpose

Ice cream every freaking meal. Mmmm

Before getting on the train to go to Santa Barbara
Reenacting Breaking Dawn

The girls in my company. They were all so amazing
My favorite girls, Courtney and Lora(she was the girl with the Russian accent )

This was basically all we did on the train because Brigham is super talented

No explanation, but we match again
We didn't know each other before this week but we had learned a bunch
about each other before from our friend Brandt, this kid's name is Blake

My roommate Meg. We almost forgot to get a picture together
Kory taught me some cords on the ukelele. He felt really cool

Some of the boys from my company

This kid became one of my favorites on the last day. His name is David
and he wants me to let you all know that he has swag

Winter in Summer?

What the what?? Lately it's been so cold, and it doesn't burn off!! I mean normally this is great, but when it's summer time and you want to tan at the beach, it's not cool when you leave fried because it's overcast. Especially since I'm pasty white.
Yesterday I was watching my siblings while my parents were at work and we decided to go to the park an get our free bagels from brueggers.

Meet my New Family Member

This was a long wait for me, and I seriously was counting down the days, but we finally got him!!!

 Name: Eugene
Why we named him that: In Tangled(one of my families favorite movie) Eugene, or Flynn Rider, takes Rapunzel on all of her adventures. I am a huge fan of adventures, and I already know that Eugene will take my whole family on adventures. He is one nice looking car.

Here is our families THIRD car:
It's a 2004 VW Jetta GLS 1.8 Turbo Engine


(Which means I'll be driving it to school in the Fall, suddenly excited for school)

In case you were in need of a Laugh...








I'm pretty sure that my siblings are crazy and don't understand that everyone can see these pictures... 
Oh Well, It's all humorous to us.
